IT the movie ruined the clown industry for a generation. Still hasn’t recovered.

"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad."

There seems to be a trend in people scared of clowns, I think it is "cool" to be scared of them. With that said, Pennywise did frick up clowns for a lot of people that's where it probably started from.

A clown is a derivation of the Jester. A jester was the one person who could get away with saying nasty things to anyone, even the king. They've never been benign.
